AI agents are rapidly evolving, but achieving true autonomy requires advanced reasoning capabilities. By enabling AI agents to deconstruct complex problems into logical reasoning pathways, developers can create more intelligent, adaptive, and decision-making models that emulate human-like cognition.
At GTC 2025, NVIDIA’s Wenwen Gao and Shyamala Prayaga will explore how to build and customize reasoning models using the NVIDIA NeMo framework. This session will demonstrate techniques for enhancing AI agents in industries such as healthcare, finance, customer support, and supply chain management.
Why Advanced Reasoning is Critical for AI Autonomy
Current AI models often struggle with complex problem-solving and contextual decision-making. To bridge this gap, AI reasoning models must: ✔ Break down complex tasks into step-by-step logical processes
✔ Adapt dynamically to changing environments
✔ Self-correct errors and improve through learning
✔ Provide human-like interpretations in reasoning-based tasks
Applications of Advanced Reasoning AI
✅ Healthcare – AI agents can analyze medical records, recommend treatments, and assist in diagnostic reasoning
✅ Finance – AI can assess risk, detect fraud, and provide autonomous trading strategies
✅ Customer Support – Intelligent virtual assistants can understand complex user queries and provide precise solutions
✅ Supply Chain – AI can optimize logistics, predict disruptions, and streamline decision-making
Building Custom Reasoning Models with NVIDIA NeMo
The NVIDIA NeMo framework provides a powerful ecosystem for custom AI model development. It allows developers to: ✔ Train and fine-tune models using open-source LLMs like DeepSeek-R1, Llama, and Nemotron
